Default What is it with teams like Southend?

A saved a game towards the end of pre-season, so each time i restart a game i don't need to go through it again. I got used to playing certain teams and how to beat them. But Southend?
Take a look at this...

This is not the first time, for some reason i can't beat Southend. Of course i tweak and in this game i had more than 20 shots, 12 on target. Southend had 2 shots on target and scored with BOTH.
Now before you start blaiming my tactics, my players, long shots or anything - take into consideration that i'm the highest scorers in the League. So there should be nothing wrong with my scorers.
But when i was about to settle for a draw look what happens...

In one of my latest games, I was trying to settle for a draw as well in the CL but on the 88th min, one of my CBs decides to handball and of course the opposition is give a free kick from which they of course score even though I checked the kicker's stats and they were very average.

I guess it's one of those crazy moments.

My bogey team is Bolton Wanderers. It happens. Over a 46 game season, it shouldn't make such a huge difference.

I agree that it happens and over a season it's not going to make much difference, but i always wanted to match or even beat Cleons record of losing just once in a season and with Sunderland it should be possible.
Did Cleon never suffer these games throughout a season?

Daryl Flahavan is an absolutely awesome keeper on FM 07 - that will have contributed immensely :thup:

I think the Southend researcher got a bit carried away on the euphoria of promotion when he was doing the stats for this version. They're almost always towards the top of the Championship on any games I start.

Saying that, I always have problems with Barnsley. Even though they're usually down towards the bottom they always give me the toughest games of the season.

With Man United I can never beat Sheffield Wednesday. They signed Shabani Nonda and Dave Nugent and I just have no chance. 4-1 and 3-1 are the most recent results.
